I've loved all of the "official" Broken Lizard films and I really wish Club Dread was on Blu-ray as that's my favorite of their films.

Their films suffer from a group mentality that lets subpar jokes go longer than they should.
That said all of their films have some really hilarious moments, they just need either a producer or director to help them with pacing or culling the jokes. The slammin salmon could have been way better than it was and had a great performance from Michael Clarke Duncan.
Cleon Salmon: Who is Guy... Meatdrapes? What kind of name is that?
Guy: It's, um, it's Metdrapedes, sir. It's Greek.
Cleon Salmon: I think you're pronouncing it wrong. This says Meatdrapes.
Guy: It's actually pronounced Metdrapedes.
Cleon Salmon: Well, why doesn't it sound like that when I say it? Meatdrapes.

MCD was great and had me laughing throughout.
Cleon Salmon: [to Japanese translator] How do you say 'motherfucker' in Spanish?

Brace yourselves for more laughs! There will be a sequel to 2001's beloved comedy Super Troopers, and Us Weekly exclusively spoke to Steve Lemme, one of the film's stars and a member of Broken Lizard, for more scoop on the movie.
"You know, it was a combination of having to settle some of the legal disputes about making a sequel, while also negotiating terms for it," Lemme told Us of what took so long. "The fans have been asking for it for a while, but we were finally able to package everything together. Fox is going to distribute the film, but we needed to raise the money for it. We're close. There may be a Kickstarter launched to raise the last little bit."
Without revealing the plot of Super Troopers 2, Lemme, 45, added: "I think it's one of the more unique and interesting stories I've seen in awhile. But the movie picks up pretty much where we left off in the first one. It's a few years later. The biggest difficulty was trying to top that opening scene, which so many people have complimented us on. I think we've done it."
The first movie, which starred the Broken Lizard comedy group — Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Erik Stolhanske, and Paul Soter — followed the hilarious antics of five Vermont state troopers, patrolling near the border of Canada.
Lemme revealed to Us that their infamous 'staches will be part of the new flick. "Everybody who had a mustache in the first one will grow it back," said Lemme. "Now the guys who didn't grow mustaches for the first one want to have a mustache. We're making them earn it, not sure how we'll haze them, but they better be prepared."
Lemme also said the group plans to start filming at the beginning of 2015, with pre-production taking place in November.

Eh. I think Super Troopers is mediocre at best and everything else has been garbage. Just not a fan of Broken Lizard's comedy.
Because Super Troopers was ok, I'm willing to at least keep track of the reviews and watch the trailers of the sequel...who knows, maybe Broken Lizard will surprise me.

I may have to revisit Super Troopers someday because I remember being generally unenthused about it when I first saw it, yet people seem to love the hell out of it. Maybe the problem is I saw it after everyone was hyping it as the funniest thing ever, so I had my expectations too high.
And I actually like Club Dread.

I like Club Dread also, but it's because of Paxton. Funny as fuck in it because he's making fun of someone I can't stand and baffled as to why he is so famous.
I found Super Troopers funny, but not as funny as people (stoners) claim.
Puddle Crusier was so-so.
Beerfest sucked.
Never seen the restaurant one.

Not to be Debbie Downer but I wouldn't put any stock in the new headlines about a sequel. We interviewed them in 2009 and got identical quotes. I won't believe this is happening until I see a photo of them on set.

Looks like they are going the crowdfunding route. They are looking for $2 million.

I went with the $35 Fandango one. A little more than I would want to spend, but whatever. Tired of hearing about this "maybe" getting made. Want it to happen already.

I've always wondered why Hollywood won't let individuals invest in potential movie ideas, and get a proportionate return on investment, depending on how well it does.

It would probably be a logistical nightmare, trying to figure out what kind of rate of return to give 10,000 people who gave $30 each.

I bought the $75 perk. Curious how cheap the aviator shades will be.
Almost considered the Austin screening, since I have family there. It's just a pain for me to get time off from work to go, and not sure how much advance notice there would be.
